CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA /
Office of City Manager
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Council Letter No. 184
Agenda May 23, 1983
Subject: Recruitment Process for. City Manager Position
At the last city council meeting, the city council dis-
cussed some of the advantages and disadvantages of various
methods of recruitment for the city manager position. Decision
making concerning the method of the process for recruitment
was delayed until May 23 in order to allow the Mayor an oppor-
tunity to have involvement in the process. However, the
council did ask for further information to be provided con-
cerning the various alternatives.
•
Attached to this council letter are some of the documents
which were put together in 1979 for the recruitment of city
manager. Needless to say, each one of these documents would
have to be updated, but they serve as an example of the type
of work which was done by the executive recruiter at that time.
The first document gives general information about Richfield
and its city government, while the second one gives a position
description. The third document is the specific specifications
put together after discussion with the city council members.
The fourth document is the actual application form which gave
more detailed information than a resume would relating to the
individual. The fifth attachment is an article which appeared
in the March, 1983 issue of Public Management magazine concern-
r inq the professional process benefiting councils, candidates,
and the profession. This article describes the executive search
method and its merits.
The two options receiving the most discussion by the city
council at the May 9 meeting were the use of a council sub-
committee or the use of an executive search firm. Some of
the advantages and disadvantages for each approach are set
out below:
A. Council Sub-Committee
0 Advantages Disadvantages
- Lower dollar cost to the city
- More direct involvement in the
process of evaluating all
applications

Firms that are active the executive recruitment are:
Loren L. Law and Associates - who has done the last recruit-
ment for the City of Richfield, and has a primary focus in
the upper Midwest.
Paul A. Reaume & Associates - Paul has a primary focus in
the upper Midwest also.
Korn-Ferry International - Is a nationwide recruitment
firm, but has done very little recruitment work in the
State of Minnesota.
While all council members undoubtedly want to recruit a
well qualified manager, who is a good match for the city, indiv-
idual styles and interaction may preclude an open and forthright
discussion of all the issues associated with the recruitment.
Because of the amount of work associated with the process,
Council Letter No. 184 -3-
some council members will necessarily be more closely involved
• than others. It is also important that the staff should have
some opportunity to provide input to the organizational aspects
of the recruitment profile.
The council may want to interview two or three executive
search firms and then decide if they want to use one of these
or go ahead on their own. The other alternative is for the
city council to decide immediately to do the process on their
own and schedule an indepth study session to deal with all the
various aspects of the process.
The advertisement appeared in the May 16 International City
Management Association newsletter, so applications are being
received at this time. Advertisements in newspapers will
commence shortly. I will be happy to discuss this matter in
more detail at the study session on May 23, 1983.

0 FACTS ABOUT RICHFIELD AND ITS CITY GOVERNMENT
THE CITY
Richfield is primarily a single family residential community with
limited multiple residential, industrial and commercial develop-
ment. Geographically, the city encompasses seven (7) square miles.
Established within the community is a quality public educational
school system which includes a senior high school, two junior high
schools, and four elementary schools. Richfield's present popula-
tion is 42,500.
Access to an excellent highway system which surrounds Richfield
enables its residents to enjoy the conveniences and privacy of
suburban living and yet be only minutes away from most of the
cultural and recreational facilities available in the Twin City
Metropolitan Area.
THE GOVERNMENT
Richfield was incorporated as a village in 1908. The residents
approved a village manager form of government on November 7, 1950.
On November 3, 1964, voters adopted a home rule charter and Rich-
field became a city with council-manager government. The city
• council consists of a mayor and four council members. The council
has the responsibility of making basic policy decisions for the
community, including the appointment of a city manager, who has
the responsibility of putting council policies into effect and
administering the affairs of city government.
Since adopting the village manager form of government in 1950,
four persons have held this position. The present five member
city council has served a total of 48 years. Council members are
presently elected at-large. However, an amendment to the city
charter adopted last fall provides that beginning in 1981, three
of Richfield's five council officials will be elected by district,
with the mayor and one council member to continue election at-large.
The Richfield city government is organized into nine functional
departments: Executive, Environmental Health, Finance, Legal,
Park and Recreation, Planning and Redevelopment, Public Safety,
Public Works and the Municipal Liquor Stores, with a total of 209
full time employees and a general fund budget for 1979 of
$6,313,731.
Richfield has just completed a seven year permanent street improve-
ment project in which 120 miles of city streets were paved and
curb, gutters and ornamental street lighting were installed. The
city is presently involved in a multi-million dollar tax increm-
ent financing redevelopment project at one of our major shopping
center areas.
Construction will begin this summer of an 18-hole municipal golf
course which will be constructed on 186 acres of land the city
has leased from the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Richfield
is also involved in a systematic pare improvement program, and is
hoping within the next few years to redevelop most of the city's
parks. Funds for this purpose are provided primarily from profits
of the,three municipal liquor stores and Community Development
Block Grant funds.
The council members also sit as the Richfield HRA, of which the
City Manager serves as Executive Director. In addition to manag-
ing the redevelopment project, the HRA administers several housing
rehabilitation and assistance programs, including a Section 8
Leased Housing Program.

A Professional Process
Benefiting Councils
Candidates, and the
Profession
MUMMOMOWAS?
by Paul A. Reaume
Paul A. Reaume Associates -P.ARA, Incorporated
Chicago, Illinois
Local government concerns and urban complexities require the attention of a committed
and compatible council-manager team. The wedding of that team together is the ulti-
mate goal of the executive search process. Executive search provides a process with spe-
cific activities to help a city council or county board select a city manager. City councils and
city manager candidates increasingly recognize the important role a responsible and experi-
enced executive search firm can serve in providing an open, definable structure to address
their interests.
The following are the key activities involved in an ex- Position Vacancy Announcement. The position is
ecutive search process. These steps help a city coun- listed in the ICV1A Newsletter and is often included in
cil find a fully qualified group of candidates from the appropriate municipal league publication and in
which to select its next city manager. other professional journals and publications. Al-
0 Development of Qualification Criteria and Position
Expectations. This initial step is one of the most im-
portant in the recruitment process. Assumptions
about the next city manager should be carefully ex-
amined. Questions which go beyond the traditional
requisites of education and experience need to be
raised. By assessing the organization's strengths and
weaknesses, the council can better determine the
kinds of qualifications and technical expertise it most
needs. Specific expectations for the next manager
should be defined, outlining problems and identifying
major goals for the organization and the community.
These criteria should be based on both current and
long-range considerations. Some councils make the
mistake of concentrating upon only visible and imme-
diate needs. Most councils expect the new manager to
give at least five years to the job; the criteria should
address that time frame.
Recruitment profile data are gathered from individ-
ual and group interviews with the mayor and city
council, key department heads and staff, the outgoing
city manager, and other municipal officials or com-
munitv leaderE. These interviews capture the unique
qualities of the organization and community. Thev
address issues and goals, as well as the professional
achievement, experience, management style, and per-
sonal traits the community feels its manager should
have. Attention is given also to the organization and
structure of the council to provide data regarding
terms of office and expected turnover, and council
tatutorv power and roles that may affect the city
anager's office. The city council approves the pro-
file collectively. The recruitment profile is prepared
for distribution to evervone who has expressed an in-
terest in the position, to prospective candidates whose
interest is solicited by the consultant, and to staff of
the municipal organization being served.
Public Nlanagement/Nlarch 1983
though the recruitment responsibility of the consul-
tant does not rely solely upon receiving applications
from such announcements, their publication ensures
that all persons from local, regional, and nationally
located jurisdictions know of the position and have an
opportunity to compete. Similarly, the city enjoys the
benefit of broad exposure of their position in the pub-
lic management marketplace.
Consultant Research and Candidate Solicitation.
Armed with the council's specific criteria and expec-
tations as outlined in the approved recruitment pro-
file, the consultant seeks out individuals who have the
specific qualifications the council has identified. The
consultant reviews resumes on file, does research,
contacts knowledgeable municipal officials, govern-
mental organizations, academicians, city managers,
and others who might be aware of the talent, achieve-
ment, and interests of prospective candidates. Those
identified in the initial search effort, generally a rela-
tively small number who best ''fit" the profile, are in-
vited by the consultant to consider the position. The
consultant is careful not to indiscriminately invite
large numbers of candidates to apply.
Acknowledgment of Applications. This step, which is
often overlooked by councils, is important from com-
munications, courtesy, and confidentiality stand-
points. All applications should be acknowledged. Fur-
thermore, whenever an individual is eliminated from
consideration, he or she should be notified. It is gen-
erally the responsibility of the consultant to receive
resumes and handle these communications on behalf
of the council, thus affording greater confidentiality.
Screening Credentials. In reviewing candidate cre-
dentials against the criteria described in the profile,
the consultant carefully evaluates background in-
formation. It is important for candidates to under-
stand that this narrowing-down process requires nu-
13
merous individuals to be eliminated from active
consideration, not because they are "unqualified,"
but because they may not "fit" this particular recruit-
ment. Should questions arise in reviewing resumes,
the consultant calls for elaboration and/or clarifica-
tion. The consultant also contacts appropriate refer-
ences, maintaining confidentiality when necessary.
This review process normally is conducted jointly by
several members of the consultant firm. Generally, a
group of approximately 20 individuals who best
match the stated desires and expectations of the
council are assembled. The consultant may initiate
another round of personal and telephone conversa-
tions with the candidates or undertake further refer-
ence checks if necessary. This narrowing process re-
duces the group of candidates to a smaller number
who are then personally interviewed by the consul-
tant. It is important at this time to secure each candi-
date's genuine interest and commitment toward the
position-sightseeing trips and "practice interviews"
are not in anyone's best interests.
Reviewing Candidates for Interviews. A report is
prepared for the city council summarizing applica-
tions received in the recruitment, and giving specific
recommendations and background information on 8
to 10 individuals who are considered to best meet the
council's previously established profile criteria. The
consultant prepares a brief summary of each candi-
date's credentials and reference recommendations
and comments. It is important that the original re-
sume material submitted by each candidate also is en-
closed, ensuring that the council has the opportunity
to review and evaluate the originality and resume ap-
proach of each candidate. The council is then urged
to select at least five from that group for personal in-
terviews. This approach allows more professionals to
be included in final selection activities, and is de-
signed to initiate a council commitment to candidates.
Candidates selected for interviews become the "coun-
cil's candidates," rather than the "consultant's candi-
dates." (This is a variation of the standard consultant
practice of directly recommending five or so candi-
dates for council interview.)
The report to the city council includes other informa-
tion important for the council to review at this time:
another copy of the recruitment profile to keep the
previously agreed-upon qualification criteria clearly
in mind during interviews; information regarding
current practices concerning salaries, benefits, re-
location assistance alternatives, employment agree-
ment considerations, ICNIA-RC orientation, as well as
a summary of the conditions of employment pertain-
ing to the council's last manager (most councils are
unaware of these details).
All councilmembers should participate in selecting
the candidates. Their decisions should be based on
consensus rather than a majority vote.
Interview Arrangements, The consultant sends pack-
ets of information on the city organization, including
the charter, budget, land use and street maps, orga-
nization chart, special studies, council and staff bio-
;raphical sketches, and other appropriate informa-
tion, to all candidates invited for interviews. Materials
pertaining to the community at large also are pro-
? ided, for example, church, school, recreation, and
housing information.
Arrangements are made for the candidates' visits to
the city or county for interviews. In most instances,
and strongly recommended, interviews of all candi-
dates are planned for a compact time period, usually
a weekend. This practice best utilizes the time of all
participants and shortens the time between inter-
views and selection.
Candidate Interviews and Council Evaluation of
Candidates. A precise schedule is prepared for the
weekend interview session. Candidates are scheduled
to be hosted on individual tours of municipal facili-
ties and community points of interest by a staff mem-
ber prior to their interviews. The council is provided
an interview guide of suggested questions, based on
recruirment profile interviews. These questions are
designed to both stimulate open discussion on impor-
tanr and crucial issues in the community and forge
the eventual council-manager team at this point. Ev-
ery attempt is made to candidly get all "issues" on
the interview table to avoid or minimize "surprises"
at later dates. Each candidate is asked the same cues-,
tions to ensure fairness in evaluation.
At the point of interview, candidates are well in-
formed on the position requirements and existing
conditions in the municipality, and councilmembers
are well briefed on each candidate. The stage is set
for a straightforward, informed interview, with a full
exchange of views between the council and the candi-
date. The consultant's role at the interview is that of
facilitator, not principal participant.
When initial interviews with each candidate are com-
pleted, the council, with the consultant's assistance
when necessary, evaluates the candidates, again us-
ing a consensus model as much as possible. Because
all candidates are close at hand and available, the
council is encouraged to reinterview candidates if ad-
ditional information is desired. Through a consensus
approach, the group of candidates is narrowed to the
two or three most acceptable to the council, with one
finalist's being selected as the primary candidate to
whom an offer of the position is made, ideally before
the close of the weekend. If acceptable to both the
council and the candidate, the consultant often assists
the two parties in arriving at an acceptable employ-
ment agreement and strongly recommends that the
appointment be a unanimous action by the council.
Final Background Inquiries and Appointment Con-
firmation. Early background inquiries may not have
involved the candidate's current council or' staff be-
cause of a request to preserve confidentiality. Should
certain matters arise during final interviews which
evoke the council's interest in specific areas of a can-
didate's background, final appointment is offered
conti.ngenr on the candidate's being subjected to a fi-
nal, thorough background investigation. This activity
usually is undertaken by the consultant: however,
some councils wish to be personally involved in this
final phase of the executive search process. From the
recruitment profile interviews to the appointment of
a manager, the executive search process usually takes
75 to 90 days.
With all parties conscientiously assuming and carry-
ing out their particular roles and responsibilities in
the executive search process, a successful appoint-
ment and tenure of council-manager interaction and
achievement can be accomplished. Conscientious at-
tention, careful and sensitive evaluation, detailed de-
liberation, and determined decision-making by all,
blended together in such an executive search process
as outlined here, will prove to serve the council and
candidates well.

The city engineer has prepared plans and specifications for
these alleys in accordance with council action. The standard 11
foot concrete alley cross-section will be installed.
The plans and specifications for the 1983 alley paving project
are very similar to those of last year. Asphalt will be placed be-
tween garages and the concrete alley where the garages are less
than three feet from the concrete alley. If the garages are more
than three feet away, sod will be installed. This year, it is
estimated that 30 working days will be needed to accomplish all
the work. This should allow the contractor sufficient time to
complete the work, while requiring him to stay on the job and
follow-up each phase of the construction immediately after the pre-
vious phase.
• It had originally been planned to bid the sidewalk and alleys
as one project. However, the city engineer has determined that it
Council Letter No. 183 -2-

• will be more advantageous to bid them as separate projects. Since
the sidewalk project is more than 20% assessable, it can be bid
separately. The bid opening dates and contract award dates will
coincide for both projects.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution, approving the plans and specifications and ordering
the placement of an advertisement for bids. The bid opening is
scheduled for June 22, 1983, with council award of the contract
scheduled for June 27, 1983. The anticipated start of construction
is the second week of July.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for Fremont Park Playground Program
•
At the April 25, 1983 city council meeting, residents of
the Fremont Park neighborhood appeared before the council re-
questing a summer playground program at Fremont Park. At the
council's request, the staff provided background information
regarding the summer playground, specifically as it relates to
Fremont Park, at the May 9, 1983 city council meeting. The
city council subsequently requested that the Community Services
Advisory Commission consider this matter and it was presented
to the Commission at its regular meeting of-May 10, 1983.
Richfield continues to offer an outstanding summer play-
ground program. However, this program, as with others, has
had to be evaluated through the development of the overall city
budget. As previously indicated to the city council, the adopted
budget provides funding for the operation of playground programs
on a set schedule at various parks and does not include funding
for adding playground sites. Therefore, any revision to the
summer playground program will require certain budget revisions.
In regard to the issue of providing a playground program
at Fremont Park, several alternatives are available for consid-
eration. The following list has been prepared by the staff and
is presented in a descending order of recommendation:
Alternatives
1. No change in summer playground
program - no program offered at
Fremont and other playground sites
would remain as scheduled.
Effect on Budget
No change
2. Divide an existing full time play- Increase by $300
ground to provide two half-time
playground sites (i.e. make Donald-
son Park a half-day program instead
0 of full day, and add a half-day
program at Fremont Park).
Council Letter No. 182 -2-
Alternative
May 23, 1983
Effect on Budget
• 3. Provide a half day program at Fremont Increase by $2000
Park in addition to the existing pro-
gram sites.
•
4. Provide a half-day playground program Increase by $2,900
at Fremont Park and an additional half-
day program at another park such as
Washington Park, Rich Acres, or
Nicollet Park.
5. Provide a full day playground program Increase by $5,200
at Fremont Park and a full day play-
ground program at an eastern park area.
6. Provide a full day playground program Increase by $2,600
at Fremont Park with other playground
sites remaining scheduled as is.
At the Community Services Advisory Commission meeting, residents
of the Fremont Park neighborhood were present and participated in
the discussion. After discussion, the commission
took action to recommend to the city council a full day playground
program at Fremont Park. The motion to do so resulted in a 4-4
vote, with the chairman voting in favor to carry the motion 5-4.
It was noted by staff at the meeting that consideration of this
matter by the city council was scheduled to occur at the May 23,
1983 city council meeting. It was also noted by staff that at
the time the commission recommendation was presented to the city
council, the city staff would in all likelihood be making a diff-
erent recommendation inasmuch as the staff believed the addition
of a full day program at Fremont Park only would result in an
inequitable overall city program.
The staff believes that the summer playground program was
given full consideration in the 1983 budget process, particularly
with regard to the various trade-offs among park sites and other
program offerings. It is, therefore, recommended that the city
council make no change in the summer playground program and that
the request for a playground program at Fremont Park be consid-
ered during the 1984 budget process along with the programs
offered at other park locations.
However, in the event the council wishes to take action to
provide a summer playground program at Fremont Park, the staff
recommends that an existing full day playground site be divided
by making the full day program to be offered at Donaldson Park
made a half-day program, and that a half-day program be offered
at Fremont Park.

Council Letter No. 181
Agenda May 23, 1983
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: 1983 Jobs Bill Appropriation to the Urban
Hennepin County Community Development
Block Grant Program
The Jobs Bill of 1983 provided for an additional appro-
priation to the Community Development Block Grant Program,
principally for the creation and direct support of jobs. Urban
Hennepin County has received an additional allocation of
$1,051,000 under the Jobs Bill, which must be scheduled for use
by July 1, 198:3 and fully expended by September 1, 1985. Un-
like the regular Hennepin County Community Development Block
Grant Program, the additional appropriation will not be alloca-
ted to individual communities for planning purposes. Rather,
the entire amount of $1,051,000 will be available to any sub-
grantee upon request. This is consistent with the Jobs Bill
special emphasis on the expeditious creation of job opportun-
ities and the tight timeframe for initiation and completion
of activities.
For the purposes of planning and programming the use of
these additional funds, a special AdHoc Citizen Advisory Committee
has been established by the county to serve the citizen partici-
pation process. The committee draws its membership from the
four planning area citizen advisory committees established for
similar purposes for the regular Hennepin County Community De-
velopment Block Grant Program. The committee will determine
the objectives for the use of the Jobs Bill appropriations,
develop criteria for the evaluation of funding proposals, re-
view submitted proposals and make funding recommencations to
the county board fcr approval. The committee will also review
project progress and program amendments as they may arise.
In programming the use of these additional funds, HUD re-
quires that Urban Hennepin County establish a set of objectives
to guide the selection of activities to be funded with the
appropriation. These objectives must reflect the intent of
both the Jobs Bill and the Housing and Community Development
• Act of 1974, as amended. Two sets of general objectives are
therefore applicable. The first set is trom the Community
Council Letter No. 181 -2-
Development Block Grant program.
Projects Should:
May 23, 1983
1. Principally benefit low and moderate income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and
blights;
3. Meet other community development needs having a
particular urgency.
The second set of objectives is from the Jobs Bill.
Projects Should:
1. Provide productive employment for jobless Americans;
2. Hasten or initiate federally funded projects or con-
struction;
3. Provide humanitarian assistance to the indigent.
Proposals for the use of the additional allocation must
be consistent with at least one of the generally applicable ob-
jectives from each set. The Jobs Bill strongly emphasizes
. funding of activities which would create and directly support
jobs. This, therefore, is the primary objective of Urban Hennepin
County in programming the use of these funds. In addition, HUD
particularly emphasizes the funding of community development
activities of the following nature as consistent with the purposes
of the bill:
1. Public works and facilities;
2. Financial assistance to private businesses for
economic development;
3. Housing rehabilitation;
4. Public services.
In order for the county to meet the July 1 application
deadline, the county has developed a schedule which requires
communities to submit their requests for additional funding from
the Jobs Bill appropriation to the county by June 7, 1983. These
funding requests will then be reviewed by the Ad Hoc Citizens
Advisory Committee and then their recommendation would be for-
warded to the county board for their action at the end of June.
The city staff is developing proposals for submission of
requests to Hennepin County for an additional $450,000 from the
Jobs Bill appropriation. These proposals will be presented on
Monday evening at the council meeting. It may be necessary to
Council Letter No. 181 -3-
schedule a special council meeting on June 1 to finalize these
proposals in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Board
of Review.

Council Letter No. 180
Agenda May 23, 1983
Subject: City position on Proposed Hennepin County
Legislation for a Shade Tree Disease Con-
trol Funding Program
Enclosed with this council letter is correspondence re-
cently received from Hennepin County Commissioner Mark Andrew
regarding a proposal for a countywide shade tree disease con-
trol funding program. The proposal is now in the discussion
stage, And Commissioner Andrew is seeking comment on the idea
from Hennepin County communities. It is expected that a county
staff report on this proposal will be made to the County Board
on May 24 or June 7, 1983.
While the details of the program have not been worked out,
the idea is to use a special county levy of up to $7 million
(one mill) to fund a program of matching grants to cities during
1984. The program could pay up to 50% of local costs for dis-
eased tree sanitation and reforestation, however, the exact
amount would likely depend on the number of cities participating
and their actual costs. If less than 50%, the grants would likely
be proportioned to cities on an equal percentage basis.
The city staff has reviewed this matter and while the avail-
ability of outside funds initially seems appealing, we have cer-
tain important concerns. First is evaluating the tax trade-offs
of city vs. county funding. Based on the 1982 assessed values
used for 1983 property taxes, a one mill county levy cost Rich-
field taxpayers about $234,000. If 50% of the 1983 forestry
budget was eligible for the grant funding, that would amount
to about $68,000. So the taxpayers would pay nearly four times
the amount returned to the city if such a program had been in
effect this year.
Secondly, Richfield and certain other
pursued shade tree disease control despite
• funding during the last two years, while o

give any credit
of the city.
Council Letter No. 180 -2- May 18, 1923
•
While Richfield might benefit indirectly from enhanced
diseased tree control in some outlying cities and from employ-
ment provided by increased funding, it does not appear that
these would outweigh the significant disadvantages outlined
above.
It is, therefore, recommended that the city council take
a position of opposing the program as currently proposed, and
that the city staff communicate this position to the Hennepin
County Board of Commissioners.

Mr. Karl Nollenberger, City Manager

Richfield, MN 55423
Dear Mr. Nollenberger:
I recently introduced the enclosed resolution concerning a new County-wide shade tree
disease control program to the Hennepin County Board. The proposal is being
examined by County staff, and my office is gathering input from Hennepin County
municipalities, citizens' groups, and State government administrators, who were
involved in the original State program.
As we set about the task of defining the program and gathering support for it, I want
you to know how interested I am in your suggestions. I expect the County Board will
hold a hearing on this matter in its Public Service Committee at the end of May, and
hopefully we will vote on the program shortly thereafter. In effect, this program
would continue on a County-wide basis what the State Shade Tree Program did before
its funding was cut--provide matching grants to participating municipalities for
sanitation and reforestation programs.
It would greatly aid in the passing of this resolution if your City Council would
respond, in writing, with its support and suggestions prior to [vlay 15. If you would like
additional information or have any questions regarding the intent or content of the
resolution, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
I look forward to working with you

Subject: Approval of Traffic Signal Agreement Between
The City of Richfield and Kentucky Fried
Chicken National Management Company
As part of the negotiations with Kentucky Fried Chicken on
the relocation of their Lyndale Avenue restaurant to the old
Clark Oil site, the city agrees to allow the installation of a
traffic signal when appropriate traffic volumes are met. Attached
is a copy of an agreement between the City of Richfield and KFC
• which covers the potential installation of a traffic signal at
66th Street and the recently vacated Pillsbury Avenue intersection.
This agreement specifically delineates what traffic volumes
must be met prior to the time that a traffic signal can be in-
stalled at this location. Part of the agreement indicates that
the city will check traffic volumes at the city's expense during
the months of May and November. The agreement also indicates
that if KFC wants volumes checked at other times, the city will
do so at KFC's expense. The later counts will not take place dur-
ing periods of abnormally high traffic such as the Christmas shopping
season.
Unless Hennepin County is willing to pay for part of the
system, the full cost of the system will be paid for by KFC. Once
the system is installed it shall belong to Hennepin County and
KFC will not have any obligation toward the maintenance of it.
It is recommended that the city council approve the attached
agreement, and authorize the city manager to execute the agreement.

Subject: Purchase in Excess of $2,650

Last year a residential structure at 7434 Fourth Avenue
was extensively damaged by fire. The structure cannot be re-
paired and the property owners have not proceeded with the
demolition of the remains. Therefore, the public safety depart-
ment has taken the necessary action to condemn this property as
a safety hazard and has solicited informal bids from five demol-
ition companies to remove the remains of the structure.
Two quotations have been received for this work. Karl
Bolander and Son's quoted $2,700 and Ray Anderson and Son's
Company quoted $3,150.
It is the recommendation of the public safety department,
in which I concur, that the demolition contract be awarded to
Karl Bolander and Son's in the amount of $2,700. The charge for
this demolition work will be assessed against the property with
the costs fully recovered by the city.

Subject: Hearing on Appeal of Denial for Itinerate Food
Sales License - Fabian Seafoods
On March 29, 1983, Mr. Steve Fabian of Galveston, Texas,
submitted an application for an itinerate food sales license.
Mr. Fabian is proposing to sell, from his truck, fresh shrimp
transported into the City of Richfield from the Galveston, Texas
area. Mr. Fabian is proposing to set up his food sales operation
in the parking lot of Richfield Automotive, 6545 Nicollet Avenue.
i The public safety department and the Bloomington health de-
partment have attempted to develop a mutually satisfactory pro-
gram with Mr. Fabian for the inspection of the food products he
proposes to sell in the community. The city has been unsuccess-
ful in this effort. Therefore, on April 28, 1983, the public
safety director denied the license for which Mr. Fabian applied.
Mr. Fabian has informed us he wishes to appeal this denial to
the Richfield City Council under the terms of Richfield City Ordin-
ance Code.
The requested hearing on this appeal has been scheduled for
the regular city council meeting on May 23, 1983. At that time
the public safety department will provide testimony in behalf of
the denial of this license application. The applicant has been
informed of his right to legal counsel at this hearing and will
be present to provide information to the city council in support
of his appeal in the matter.
It is recommended that the city council hold the public
hearing as scheduled and consider action concerning the appeal.

This letter and the enclosed material is being hand delivered to
you so that you may have an opportunity to consider it prior to
the City Council Meeting on Monday, May 23rd. Our office
represents Steve Fabian, who has for the past five years sold
fresh shrimp in the City of Richfield, generally at the Hub
Shopping Center. The operation has been a clean, successful and
properly licensed operation. This year, unfortunately, the City
Administration saw fit to deny Mr. Fabian's license, resulting in
our appeal of that decision to you as the City Council.
You will find enclosed with this letter, a letter which our office
has written to Clayton LeFevere, your City Attorney, outlining the
legal reasons why the denial of the license by the City is
incorrect, and copies of representative correspondence received by
Mr. Fabian concerning his seafood operation, along with a
newspaper article showing the success of his service and the
quality provided his customers.
We are hopeful that the City Council, after reviewing the enclosed
materials, will allow Mr. Fabian to continue on the same basis as
he has in the past, his operation which is well liked and well
run.
If any of you have any questions which I may answer concerning
this, please feel free to contact me.

(2) Richfield City Code. Mr. Fabian has been granted a
license to sell fresh shrimp by the City since 1978. The license
in 1982, attached as Exhibit A, was entitled Itinerant Food
License; in prior years it was simply entitled a license to "sell
fresh shrimp." Itinerant food licenses are presently issued under
Section 601, along with other food licenses. Section 601
pre-empts all other provisions of the Richfield City Code which
may be adopted by reference regarding the same subject matter.
Richfield City Code, Section 601, Subdivision 1. Thus, even if
there was an attempt by Richfield (which, based upon our review,
there has not been) to adopt by reference any other city's
regulations, they would be ineffective vis-a-vis Section 601,
thus, making that the governing section (subject to limiting
arguments below) for food merchants.
Section 601, Subdivision 17 deals with itinerant food merchants.
That provides that a sanitarian shall immediately inspect and
issue a report on itinerant food establishments about to commence
operation. Under Subdivisions 11 and 14, the sanitarian can tag,
seize and condemn unwholesome food. (Subdivision 5 exempts
itinerant food establishments from a food license requirement,
thus, no license is required other than the itinerant inspection
under Subdivision 17.)
Thus, Section 601 contains all of Richfield's legal requirements
in regard to itinerant food licensing. That is, inspection before
commencement of operations, a report to be immediately issued, no
sale of unwholesome food, and the operation is subject to closure
and seizure if food is found to be unwholesome upon later
checking. Nowhere is there a requirement that there be a five-day
frozen storage (quarantine) period, that he contract with a
private lab or any of the other requirements Richfield is seeking
to impose.
Furthermore, there has been no change in the Richfield City Code,
Section 601, since the 1982 license was issued. Given no change
in the governing regulations and no change in the circumstances of
sale, denial of the license is at least inconsistent and can be
more rightfully labelled as arbitrary and capricious.
(3) Bloomington City Code. It has been suggested that,
because of a contract with Bloomington to provide Health
Department services, the Bloomington ordinances are in effect in
Richfield. Except for very limited circumstances (eg. Subdivision
Regulations pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 462.358) a municipal
corporation cannot enforce its regulations outside of its
corporate boundaries. However, assuming for the moment that

subdivision of state government, except for
licensing requirements which may be imposed by
the municipal corporation or subdivision of
state government in which the manufacturer,
processor or distributor locates a plant.
As Exhibit B to this letter shows, Mr. Fabian holds a license as a
distributor from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Under
the statute quoted above, the City of Richfield cannot impose its
licensing requirements on Mr. Fabian's business.
Even though under state law Mr. Fabian is exempt from City
licensing requirements, he does share the City's concern for
assuring that the public is provided with wholesome, unadulterated
food products. Submitted to yourself and the City are just a few
of the letters which Mr. Fabian has received in support of his
continued operation in the City. It is obvious, that he runs a
clean well thought of and highly popular commercial operation. He
has not had complaints lodged against him for any reason,
particuarily that of the wholesomeness or freshness of his shrimp.
Because Mr. Fabian is confident in his operation, he has not
objected to either the state's or the City's reasonable license
and inspection requirements; and has never objected to periodic
inspections by City authorities to assure that in fact his food
remains wholesome and unadulterated throughout the period of sale.
However, the license requirements sought to be imposed by the City
are unreasonable in view of the service provided, Mr. Fabian' s
"track record` in providing good quality service and food to the
area, and because there is no legal basis allowing the City to
impose such a regulation. Therefore, we respectfully request that
the City of Richfield reverse its position and immediately issue
to Mr. Fabian an itinerant food license as has been done in past
years; or more properly, determine that no such license is
required but that his operation is subject to periodic
inspection.
I would appreciate hearing your views on the foregoing prior to
the Council Meeting on the 23rd in the hope that this matter may
be resolved. obviously, my client will suffer a loss of business
if there is a continuing denial of his legal rights in which event
he will of course have to consider what other legal avenues are
oper. to him to compensate for the loss.
Sincerely,
HOFF 2: P. A.

TO: RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL
RE: Fabian Seafood
We understand that Fabian Seafood has been denied a license to sell
fresh shrimp from their truck in Richfield. This is a request to
grant an exception to the ordinance and allow Fabian to continue tc
sell shrimp in our City.
We have been purchasing fresh shrimp from Fabian for a number of
years. The quality of the product has been excellent and for those of
us who live in the Midwest but thoroughly enjoy fresh shrimp, Fabian
has provided us the opportunity to enjoy many excellent meals of fresh
shrimp.
• We must admit we do wonder why, after five years of Fabian selling
shrimp in Richfield, there is now a problem. Why are we allowing the
Bloomington Health Department to enforce a Bloomington ordinance in
Richfield? It seems obvious that Fabian comes back to Richfield year
after year because they have many pleased customers - customers who
enjoy the fresh shrimp that is available. Why are you in the process
of depriving us shrimp lovers from an excellent source of fresh
shrimp?
We respectfully request that Fabian be granted a license to sell
shrimp in Richfield.
Sincerely,
Edith Donovan

Agenda May 23, 1983
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to On-Sale
Wine License Year
As members of the council may be aware, the City of Rich-
field issues three types of licenses for the sale and dispensing
of intoxicating liquors and non-intoxicating malt liquors (beer,
wine and intoxicating liquor licenses). As a matter of conven-
ience, the licensing period of the wine license was set to
commence on April 1st of each year, expiring on March 31st the
following year. An amendment to Minnesota State Statute 340.11
• subd. 16 requires that:
"All intoxicating liquor licenses issued by a munici-
pality other than a city of the first class, except
manufacturers and wholesalers licenses, shall expire
on the same date."
This change in the state statute requires that we amend our
wine licensing ordinance to bring the licensing period into con-
formance with the calendar year. The city attorney's office has
developed the attached amendment which will allow us to accomplish
this change without affecting the licenses which have currently
been issued. In effect, the licenses issued for 1984 will be
issued for a nine month period. Starting in1985, all wine
licenses will be issued for a calendar year, in a manner similar
to the presently existing license periods for non-intoxicating
and intoxicating liquor sales.
It is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director, in
which I concur, that the city council amend the present on-sale
wine license to reflect the proposed changes in the licensing
period.
Respectfully submitted,
Karl Nollenberger

The Honorable Mayor

Members of the City Council .,
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Report for the Advisory Board of Health on
The Recommended Social Service Component of
The 1983 Community Development Block Grant Program
On February 28, 1983, the Richfield City Council requested
that the Richfield Advisory Board of Health develop a priority
listing of human service needs in the community based on the 34
specific needs identified for Richfield as a part of the South-
Hennepin Human Service Council Needs Assessment Study. This
needs assessment study report was originally submitted to the
city council on December 13, 1982. As a part of this process,
the council asked the Advisory Board of Health to also consider
an additional proposal for a Community Jobs Program which had
been submitted for council consideration by Mr. John G. Steger.
The Advisory Board of Health has completed their consid-
eration, including the proposal by Mr. Steger, of the human ser-
vice needs programs for our community. Public discussion of this
issue was conducted at two advisory board meetings with a formal
public hearing on April 18, 1983.
As a result of considerable deliberation, and public input
with regard to this matter, the Advisory Board of Health has
identified five basic human services for the City of Richfield.
A copy of the report related to this study is attached for
council consideration. Basically, the five needs in their priori-
tized order, are as follows:
1. Child/daycare service
2. In-home services to elderly and disabled
3. Family violence services
4. Access to social services and social service program
information
5. Chemical dependency and prevention programming

ze remaining three social service
The Chairperson of the Advisory Board of Health, Ms. Lia
Ozols, will be present at the May 23rd meeting of the city
council to present this report and to respond to any questions
which council members may have with regard to this matter. If
the city council adopts the funding areas proposed by the Advisory
Board of Health, it is recommended that groups interested in
applying for funding submit specific program proposals to the
Community Development Department no later than June 10, 1983.
The Community Development Department will then review these prop-
osals for compliance with both federal and county guidelines
which regulate the use of Community Development Block Grant
Funds. It is expected that the city council could then consider
the funding requests at the regularly scheduled council meeting
on June 27, 1983.
The city council should be aware of concerns recently ex-
pressed by the Planning Area One Citizen Advisory Committee about
funding public service programs (the committee has review and
approval authority for CDBG budget proposals). While the committee
indicated conditional approval of the city's plan to allocate
ten percent of the budget to public service programs, it warned
that the programs must meet all CDBG eligibility requirements to
qualify.
The city staff has previously expressed concern about a
city commitment to fund on-going public service programs. If
deemed warranted, specific recommendations in this regard will
be made at the time individual requests for funding are consider-
ed by the council.

Dear Karl,
Sue Sarver

The enclosed proposal is for your consideration in
the use of Community Development Block Grant Funds towards
establishing a child care sliding fee program in Richfield.
This proposal has the following changes from what was
presented to the Richfield Advisory Board of Health. The
reasons for these changes are that the Greater Minneapolis
Day Care Association would like to establish one set of
guidelines for the entire suburban area - the reasoning is
obvious - there would be the potential of having over 40
different suburban child care sliding fee programs. (Naturally
if the City should want to adminster its` own sliding fee
program it has that right.)
1) Raise the minimum income guideline from 60% of the
State Median Income to 70% of the State Median
Income. The reasoning being that the Minnesota
State Sliding Fee Program now covers this area.
2) Lower the maximum to
Median Income to the
VIII Guidelines.
under 100% of the State
maximum of the Section
I will plan on attending the City Council meeting
when this proposal will be reviewed, along with members
of the Richfield Fun Club and Woodlake Child Care Center.
I would appreciate it if you would inform me when this
will be on the Councils agenda.

to call me. Work - 927-7663 Home - 869-0114.

Richfield dollars would go only to Richfield residents,
with a small percentage limited by Hennepin County CDBG
regulations, going to cover Greater Minneapolis Day Care
Associations minor additional administrative expenses.
Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association has been administering
such funds for 8 years, and its system is audited both by
HUD and the State of Minnesota.
RICHFIELD PARENTS ASSISTANCE FUND
To be funded through the Community Development Block Grant
funds. To subsidize a portion of the child care costs.
The guidelines for eligibility: The parent must be utilizing
a licensed or otherwise legal fornof child care. The parent
(or each parent, if there are two) must be engaged for a
minimum of 20 hours a week in active employment, in job-related
training, or in a combination of the two. The parent or
parents must live in the city of Richfield. And the gross income
of the family must fall between 70Z of the State Median Income
(adjusted to family size) as the mimimum, and the Section VIII
metropolitan guidelines as the maximum. The range of these
eligibility guidelines for each family size is as follows:
FAMILY SIZE YEARLY GROSS INCOME
2 $12,088 - 17,400
3 14,932 - 19,550
17,776 - 21,750
5 20,620 - 23,100
Etc.
As this is a sliding scale program, the lower the family's
relative income, the smaller the fee that must be paid for child
care, and, conversely, the higher the income on this scale,
the closer the family's financial share comes to paying the full
cost of care. (however, full cost is paid only when a family's
income reaches 100% of the State Median Income, and that is well
beyond the maximum in each of these ranges, except perhaps for
the figures pertaining to a family of 2.)
Sliding fee child care subsidies are NOT income maintance or a
welfare program. They provide the necessary support for parents
to find and maintain employment. Unlike other forms of subsidy,
they do not penalize working parents who receive a raise. Fees
are simply adjusted according to increasing income. Child Care
Sliding Fee Programs encourage upward mobility and both personal
and community-wide economic development.

Many senior residents in the communities we serve have found the H.O.M.E.
Program very important in enabling them to maintain their property and
continue to live independently in their community. An additional benefit
of this program is a potential cost savings to the taxpayer by delaying
placement of the elderly in nursing homes and other subsidized living
arrangements.
I thank you for your support during 1982 and hope you can find it
possible to assist the H.O.M.E. Program in continuing to make this much
needed service available to the residents of the City of Richfield.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please let me know.

III. The Richfield Advisory Board of Health established a ranking
process based on the following agreed criteria:
a) Identify and select five service areas.
b) Zero in on the human factor.
Based on this criteria, the Advisory Board of Health identified
and selected five primary needs that were based on the South
Hennepin Human Service Needs Assessment identification.
E
-d-
The following is the five primary needs prioritized and rated'by
• the Richfield Advisory Board of Health using a scale of 1 to 10:
CHILD/DAY CARE 5
(See enclosed roster of Child Care facilities)
IN-HOME SERVICES TO ELDERLY/DISABLED 2
FAMILY VIOLENCE 1
ACCESS TO SERVICES AND INFORMATION 1
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY/PREVENTION 1
DESCRIPTIONS AND BACKGROUND STATEMENTS
OF THE FIVE IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES:
(Provided by Russ Stricker, Exccutive Director, South Hennepin Human Services)
1. DAY CARE is the out-of-home care of children in a family or group setting.
Day care services also include assistance to parents to locate appropriate
child care and the administration of day care programs. Licensed day care
services are provided in Richfield by five centers: Richfield Fun Club
i (latch-key for school age children), Woodlake Children's Center (pre-school)
Little Learner's Preschool, St. Richard's Nursery School, and Woodale Nursery
Center, and by approximately sixty group and family day care homes for
various ages. Enclosed are the current listings of the licensed day care
centers in the South Hennepin area.
2. IN-HOME SERVICES refers to assistance to the elderly to maintain their own
homes, such as homemaking and non-personal services, minor repairs, household
and outside maintenance, lawn and yard care. The purpose is to provide
reasonable cost, quality services which will enable older people to stay
in their homes as long as possible. These services are provided in the
South Hennepin area through the H.O.M.E. (Household and Outside Maintenance
for the Elderly) program of South Hennepin Human Services Council and the
Youth Employment Service in Richfield. In 1982, the H.O.M.E. program
served over 585 households. More than 150 South Hennepin households
received homemaker service. Services provided in 1981-82 to Richfield
customers totaled 1,070 hours (approximately 105 customers) and in 1982-83,
the first three quarters of the year showed 2,483 hours (approximately 177
customers) of service were provided to Richfield residents.
3. ACCESS TO INFORMATION/COORDINATION OF SERVICES refers to information availa-
bility about resources and services in the South Hennepin area, as well as,
transportation to these services. Many people are currently served through
the South Hennepin County Information and Referral office which has been
in this area about ten years. This office had over 4,000 client contacts
in the South Hennepin area in 1982 of which about 471 were with Richfield
residents.
Service needs are: updating the present Mini-Directory of Human Service
Services, maintaining and/or increasing Information and Referral Services,
education of city and agency staffs as to how to make appropriate referrals,
and general publicity about services available.
• Coordination of services deals with city and areawide planning to assist
in and facilitate cooperation and communication between human service
providers, to avoid duplication and overlap of services, to develop
services to fit gaps in the service network, and to work to improve existing
services. Coordinating of services is done by South Hennepin Human Services
Councils in conjunction with city commissions/boards and service agencies
in the area.
4., FAMILY VIOLENCE services may involve several areas:
- education of the general public as well as public safety departments,
referral resources, and human service providers about identifying the
problem of family violence and resources for help.
- advocacy services to assist victims of family violence in seeking help
and in approaching appropriate resources.
- provision of temporary shelter through developing a safehome network
or a specific shelter.
availability of services to assist not only the victims but also the
perpetrators of family violence and significant others in facing
and coping with this problem.
The South Hennepin Family Violence Committee is currently working on
supporting existing services, such as self-help groups and on developing
additional services, such as a safehomes network and an ongoing advocacy
program. This committee is seeking volunteer and financial support to
develop needed services for battered women and their families.
5. CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PREVENTION services refer to education and counseling
of children, teenagers and families about development of positive self-
esteem/self image and coping skills as well as information about chemical
dependency problems. This education and counseling is geared toward
avoiding the development or continuance of chemically dependent behavior.
In Richfield, these services are provided through Project CHarlie, which
is in its 8th year of existence. Project CHarlie focuses on creating
chemical dependency awareness in the community and in the schools.

Based on the rating, CHID/DAY CARE has been considered the most
important social service need for consideration at this time.
IN-HOME SERVICES TO ELDERLY/DISABLED was considered to be of equal
importance but was less critical at this time.
The above noted ranking process was approved unanimously by
those Board Members in attendance.
If the City Council concurs with the Richfield Advisory Board of
Health's recommendations, the Council should direct the Community
Development Department to solicit specific proposals for the
implementation of a social service component of the Community
Development Block Grant Program. Such proposals will need to be
reviewed for compliance with Federal guidelines established for
this program.

Council Letter No. 173
Agenda May 23, 1983
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Distinguished Citizen Award
Later this week, on Saturday, May 28, Clayton LeFevere is
being presented with a Distinguished Alumni Award by St. Olaf
College. Mr. LeFevere graduated from St. Olaf and subsequently
studied law. In February, 1951, Mr. LeFevere was appointed the
attorney for the City of Richfield and has continued to hold
that important position in our community for thirty-two years.
In connection with the Distinguished Alumni Award to be
presented to Mr. LeFevere by St. Olaf College, I thought it
• would be appropriate to also recognize the long and distinguished
service he has provided for the citizens of our community over
these past 32 years. Therefore, I am suggesting that Mr. LeFevere
be presented with a special Distinguished Citizen Award to compli-
ment the Distinguished Alumni Award he will receive on May 28.
We have scheduled this award presentation for the first part of
the council meeting on May 23. We have also arranged for a
brief reception following the award presentation. Mr. LeFevere's
family, members of his law firm, and some of his personal friends
have been invited to participate in this recognition ceremony.
Mr. LeFevere, himself, is unaware of the fact that he will be
receiving this award from the City.
In considering this matter, it appears to me that no single
citizen has contributed as much to the outstanding development
of our community as that exemplified by Mr. LeFevere's efforts
over the past 32 years. I believe this special Distinguished
Citizen Award is an appropriate token of our appreciation to a
truly outstanding citizen of our community and long-time member
o our city administrative staff.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Appointment of Acting City Manager
An item has been listed on the May 23, 1983 city council
agenda for the appointment of an acting city manager for the
period subsequent to June 17, and before the appointment of
a new city manager. Due to the absence of the Mayor from the
city, a specific recommendation will be delayed until the
council meeting on Monday, May 23, 1983. It is important to
appoint an acting city manager soon in order to make the
transition more smooth and orderly and allow time for trans-
mittal of information.

The Honorable Mayor

Council Members:
Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to Cable Line
Extension, and Service to Public Buildings.
Second Reading.
At its meeting of April 25, 1983, the city council approved
the second reading of the amendment to the cable line extension
provisions of the ordinance. However, publication of the amend-
ment was postponed when staff learned of an additional proposed
amendment relating to cable service to public buildings.
The Cable Commission has now recommended the amendment of
Article III, Section 7 of the ordinance, as indicated on pages
2 and 3 of the attachment. This sets out the public buildings to
be provided service by Cablesystems free of charge. Public
buildings outside the initial service area would be wired at cost.
This new provision has no direct effect on Richfield, but relates
to a public building in Eden Prairie. All other provisions are
the same as those considered on April 25.
The city attorney has advised that the council may consider
the second reading again with the new provision since publication
of the earlier amendment has not occurred. However, a new public
hearing is not required.
It is recommended that the city council approve the second
reading of the ordinance as proposed.
Respectfully submitted,

A. Service will be provided to dwelling and nonresi-

2. The standard cost per dwelling and nonresi-
dential unit in the extended area shall be determined
by dividing the total from (1) above by 40, being the
standard minimum dwelling unit density.
3. Grantee's contribution to the cost of the
line extension shall be determined by dividing the total
number of dwelling and nonresidential units in the
extended area, as designated by the City Council pur-
suant to Section 2.C.(2) below, by the number of

menced in the extended area, at which time all funds in

commencement of service to the extended area, all sub-
sequent subscribers in the extended area shall be
charged the same installation charge as other
